The Ukit people are comprised of a third indigenous tribe from Borneo that continues to be partially nomadic within the rain forests of Borneo. Some of the Ukit live at Rumah Ukit, where Leon, O'Hanlon and Inghai spend some time. The men described their population as very small. The Ukits are widely and accurately reputed to be excellent hunters. O'Hanlon travels to the Ukit to gather information about the Borneo Rhinoceros.
